Why all the love for the mosin-nagant . I hate them!

[duff72]

Why is there so much love for these horrible guns. I myself got lured in years ago only to be disappointed. I hear all the tales of it being a 300 yard gun only to hear excuses on range day from the proud owners. I'm sure I will get flamed for this thread so my extinguisher is handy. I know that during the war they were used with some success, help me understand

Diff'rent Strokes for Diff'rent folks.

I agree, they do not seem at all something I like. But again, if everybody loved them they would cost a whole lot more than the 99 bucks buds has them for!

 

[ryan3030]

I don't like them either. Tough to operate, stiff recoil, unwieldy as can be.

But for a $100 rifle and cheap ammo, it's hard to beat for a lot of folks. $100 for a rifle that would put meat on the table if need be.

That's called Surplus, and it won't last forever.

LOL OKAY. Nuggets are nuggets for a reason

Only Mosins I like, are the ones Finland upgraded and improved on.

 

[Hookeye]

I'd rather put that 100 toward something of better accuracy/ergonomics and actually use it outside of just making noise.

Brilliant- I agree . I would rather put the money towards a .22. If that is my only gun and I need to shoot on a budget .

 

[midget]

I guess I've never had any accuracy problems with my Mosin Nagant rifles.... I like them because they are a novelty to me...

I like shooting 91/30s, but REALLY enjoy a good M38.

I can think of a lot worse ways to spend $100.
